Has anyone else noticed how prevalent Hexbear posters have suddenly become? Maybe sometime last week I noticed nearly every political post had at least one long thread of Hexbear users that do nothing but repeat CCP talking points while waving anyway anything even remotely reliable as Western propaganda. That or getting all excited about trolled libs. The way they tell it, you’d think everything from DW, to Fox, to Propublica, to straight up AP News articles, are all written by the same people.
Not to mention, their info on the Fediverse observer is either straight up wrong or there’s some serious botting going on. According to that, the instance is less than a month old, yet somehow they already have one of the largest, most active userbases, along with far and away the most comments of any instance.
Seems to me like Lemmygrad on steroids. Considering we defederated from them, seems like a no-brainer to block Hexbear as well.
So glad this thread could become such a perfect microcosm of why we need to defederate.
Be more direct. Who are you even replying to?
I’m not replying to anyone, I’m posting this for other people who come along and might be susceptible to Hexbear propaganda.
Well thank god they have you to tell them… what exactly? What counter-movement do you stand for?
It might shock you but you aren’t required to stand for an anti-establishment whatever and shove your opinions down other people’s throats.
Capitalism in it’s current form may be responsible for incredible suffering and truly horrific global environmental damage. That doesn’t mean the concept itself is 100% wrong, that Communism is compatible with human nature, or that it’s in humanities best interest to split of into a bunch of counter-movements.
Why do you speak so confidently about subjects you clearly have spent almost exactly zero time investigating? There are over a hundred years of accumulated knowledge and study from a Marxist perspective on the nature and mechanics of capitalism (and that’s basically what Marxism is). You say that [single observation] isn’t proof that it’s inherently bad? Well big fucking whoop. The conclusion comes from a LOT more than that.
You are ideologically incoherent.
And you’re ignorant. Another great debate thanks Hexbear

Ngl I’m skeptical of hexbear primarily for the “Dunkin on libs” shit, but of this thread they did seem to be the only ones having a good faith debate.
So what i’m getting is, you’ll never do anything to make it better and just roll with the material conditions like a boxing dummy on a swivel. You lash out at our approach to the system bc you have none of your own.
They won’t just roll with it, awwwyissss thinks there’s an immutable “human nature” and that communism is not “compatible” with it. They think communism is anti-human, while they do not judge the current system as anti-human: it’s easy to see the little they would do of any political impact will only serve to keep the current barbarity going.
Time to check the ”human nature tho” box on my bingo card.
Lmao, you did the meme.
You did the “muh human nature” meme.
Hilarious!
